This seems to be a very polarizing draft. Some don't like Drysdale, some don't like Byfield, some don't like Stuetzle, some don't like Rossi, some don't like Perfetti, some don't like Askarov, some don't like Askarov, some don't like Sanderson, some don't like Raymond. Some even think that Lafreniere is overrated. Every draft there is a difference of opinion on the top 10 players, but even more so this draft than most.
You fit into that category with Drysdale. I personally think you're way off. I see somewhere slightly less but similar style to Ellis defense/transition game and somewhere slightly less but similar style to Makar's offensive/playmaking game. I believe he can be PP1 and PK1. I'm probably higher than most on Drysdale, but you are probably lower than most. The difference may or may not be somewhere in the middle.
I didn't think I disliked Drysdale. I'd still take him top ten. I was reacting to the Makar/Ellis comparison which I think is not right.
Makar has much better top end speed and unusual fast-twitch lateral movement which can break a defence. I don't think there's anyone quite like him and I wouldn't list Drysdale as similar at all. Drysdale is smoother, more controlled, but also more controllable. I myself had made the Ellis comparison before but some OHL watchers corrected me on that point, and there does seem to be a big difference in their defensive ability in their end at age 18. I could see Drysdale developing towards where Ellis is, and that would make him a worthy top ten pick, but Ellis was stronger in his own end at that age. Drysdale isn't as physically strong right now and gets outworked by kids his own age in front of his net. Again though I could see him fixing that, it's training not magic.
My high-medium-low on Drysdale is something like this:
Duncan Keith - Ryan Ellis - Ellis without the defense part.
Keith is obviously not very likely, that's a magical development curve that is hard to project for anyone.
Ellis I could see happening. He moves like him, he can produce like him, and I could see him learning the defensive zone part.
Or maybe he won't get quite strong enough, then you might just get a second pair guy who plays #2PP. He'll assuredly have the skating where you could see him tirelessly playing 25 minutes a night but that's not a plus if you don't have the offensive and defensive impacts of a top pair guy.
